Jones, the heavily recruited forward from Portland, has been a lot for opponents to handle so far this year. Through his first three games he is averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Coach John Calipari’s freshman class is loaded yet again. Along with Jones, Brandon Knight and Doron Lamb headline a group that almost rivals last year’s Wildcats. But while all three are talented players, it is Jones that is earning rave reviews so far.

From The Lexington Herald Leader:

“I thought Terrence Jones was the best player in the country in his class,” Jeff Capel said after Jones led Kentucky to a 76-64 victory over the Sooners on Monday. “I didn’t see anyone who could have the impact on a game like he could. He certainly did that this afternoon and I anticipate him continuing to do that.”
